A quick N Easy Antenna question
I used to be into 'CB' radio, so stuck on the side of my house is a large high quality antenna, and while the SWR may need adjusting, could I use this for Wi Fi. CB operates at a frequency range of 27,0000 + MHZ while I understand that Wi Fi is 24 - 25. The cable comes through the wall and is terminated with a TNC male plug.
Can I not just buy a Wi Fi card with adapter and a suitable pigtail ? Or have I got this all so terribly wrong!??? |

The American Citizens Band is channelized in the frequency range 26.965 to 27.405 MHz. WiFi is 2400 MHz (2.4 GHz). Yes you can buy a WiFi card and pigtail. No you cannot use it with a CB antenna. Yes you have it terribly wrong. Last edited by wrzwaldo : 07-05-2004 at 09:29 AM. |

There is a big difference between MegaHertz (MHz) and GigaHertz (GHz).
